I have proposed this legislation. Another reason commending passage of this measure is to improve the general standard of living in the Canal Zone. Americans living in the area live on a fairly high plane from others. This measure would help dissolve existing inequities and show the people of this sovereign part of the United States that they can enjoy the equal protection of the Government. wherever it might be. We have always maintained that the Constitution and its guarantees follow the flag. We should move with alacrity to provide these benefits to the noncitizens working in the Canal Zone.
